Amd already has in its laboratories the first 7 nm gpus navi

According to Fudzilla sources, AMD already has 7nm Navi-based graphics cards up and running in their labs, and they say it looks 'very good'.

Sources suggest 7nm Navi looks 'better than expected'

While it's clear that the Navi- based graphics card will launch in the second half of 2019, and the best-case scenario is rumored to be in the third quarter of 2019, the good news is that the GPU is working in AMD's labs. Of course, this is probably one of the first versions, since AMD still has a long way to go before having a final product ready.

Sources suggest that the 7nm GPU looks better than expected. Unfortunately, they haven't gone into much detail, so we don't know if this means that the performance is good or that the 7nm GPU is just providing good performance / consumption performance. These are the first details about the Navi 7nm GPU, in addition to previous rumors suggesting that we could be facing a rival to the GTX 1080 at a price of $ 250 and with less power consumption.

Our sources continue to insist that the Navi GPU will target the mid-range graphics card market, and not to compete with Nvidia's GeForce RTX. This could also mean that we won't be seeing a high-end Navi GPU before 2020.

Following the 7nm Navi launch, it is expected to be replaced by the new generation 7nm + architecture, which was recently rumored to be named Arcturus by 2020.

We will see how AMD develops, but it is costing them too much to rival Nvidia in the high range and it seems that they are late to have a worthy product against RTX 'Turing'.
